The front office staff is friendly and helpful with maps of the property. Parking logistics. Etc. The 3 bedroom unit we rented for the weekend was wonderful! Spacious and a private green backyard with chairs and a fire pit. Large kitchen and living room plenty of space for us to work during the day. Nice community pool. The garage held two cars in tight quarters but plenty of parking around the property. Loved everything about the property!

The room we had, had broken blinds, old apples, ac wasn’t working well and it was loud, no body soap and shower was dirty. The shower floor had peeling rubber, knob was hard to pull to turn in, water ran only warm. From pictures online I thought it was great! But once there, it was awful! Best Western was cleaner. Never again.
